The Harlem intersection where a 6-year-old boy was killed walking to school last February is routinely without an NYPD crossing guard. According to the Post, the crosswalks at First Avenue and East 117th Street, an area that is frequented by the kind of tractor trailers that fatally struck Amar Diarrassouba, had no crossing guard to escort children on Thursday. "If we have the manpower to put somebody there, we will. If not, it goes uncovered for the day," a supervisor at the 25th Precinct told a Post source. "Of course, it's dangerous. But I'm down guards in other areas." [ more › ]

The five plaintiffs, all women who worked as teachers or teaching assistants at the Children's Learning Center in Morningside Heights, lost their jobs between 2010 and this year after the school brought in a new head administrator, the lawsuit says. The suit also alleges that the school created a 'hostile environment' and replaced the fired educators with white instructors.

Is it possible to be a shape-shifter while remaining strongly grounded at the same time? Robert Pruitt's crayon series, simply entitled "Women," shows such an existence is not just possible -- it is everywhere.
Pruitt's portraits of contemporary African American women incorporate science fiction, hip-hop, 1960s black power, comic book culture and a romantic allegiance to realism. Conjuring the cultural influences that construct identity, Pruitt presents feminine strength from the inside colliding with external forces to create a captivating and fantastical portrait.

Poor Teyana. Why can’t some black people act right?
According to The NY Post
Shooting At Teyana Taylor’s Cookout
It’s not a July 4th cookout until someone catches a mean slug. Does the heat make some black people crazy? Damn homie it’s the July 4th cookout not World War 3. Calm that isht down.
A 200-person party hosted by local rapper Teyana Taylor in Morningside Park descended into mayhem late yesterday — leaving one cop hurt and another reveler arrested, police and attendees said.
The crowd gathered around 9pm at West 120th Street and Morningside Avenue and quickly got out of hand, party-goers said in Facebook posts.
“It’s like LA (cali) after a riot out here at Morningside park. Police everywhere. Helicopters in the sky. Madness,” posted Aaron Rose.
The mob first occupied the park, then moved on to the West Side Highway and attempted to climb the fences of Riverbank State Park.
A Housing sergeant injured his shoulder trying to quell the crowd, and a 14-year-old was arrested for firing a gun into the air, police said.
“They just shot Teyana Taylor cookout up,” read one post on Twitter, while another noted “After it got dark teyana taylor cookout got mixxy lol ..had to leave.”
Taylor recently signed to Kanye West’s music label.
Ninjas shooting up the movie theater, the cookout, the club….what’s next? Maybe bullets should cost like $5,000 and then people would think twice about firing a gun into a crowd. That’s some punk isht.
